The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch

Far Beyond Our Expectations—Once Again an Unforgettable Experience Having stayed at The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch before, we already knew how special it was and arrived with very high expectations. Somehow, this stay exceeded them all. It was far more than an ordinary vacation—it was once again an authentic, personal, and unforgettable Western experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome. The entire team greeted us with warmth, attentiveness, and an easy professionalism that immediately made us feel at home. The horses were exceptionally well cared for and thoughtfully matched to each guest. Every ride offered something new: the steady rhythm of hooves beneath us, the clean Wyoming air, wide-open skies, and breathtaking landscapes stretching in every direction. Riding through that vast, quiet country was both exhilarating and deeply peaceful, making the rides some of the absolute highlights of our trip. We stayed at Hideout Home, which was the perfect accommodation for us. It offered exceptional comfort, privacy, and a wonderful sense of home while still allowing us to enjoy the full ranch experience. After a day outdoors, it was a pleasure to return to its peaceful surroundings, relax in the comfortable space, and appreciate the thoughtful details that made our stay especially memorable. Hideout Home gave us a quiet retreat where we could recharge and fully take in the beauty around us. The guides combined professionalism and a strong focus on safety with patience, good humor, and a genuine love for the horses and the countryside. Their knowledge and care allowed us to feel confident while still experiencing the excitement and freedom of the trail. The food was excellent—comforting, flavorful, and especially satisfying after hours outdoors—and the friendly atmosphere made every meal and conversation feel personal and welcoming. What makes The Hideout truly special is its attention to detail and sincere hospitality. Nothing felt artificial or commercialized. Instead, everything felt genuine: the care given to the horses, the pride taken in the land, the thoughtful service, and the warmth shared by the people who work there. It was a true ranch experience created by people who care deeply about their guests, their horses, and this remarkable place. Returning to The Hideout confirmed everything we remembered from our previous stay while giving us many wonderful new memories. We left with immense gratitude, full hearts, and only one regret: that our stay eventually had to end. We would return without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend The Hideout to anyone looking for an exceptional, authentic ranch experience.

Travelled a looong Way from Denmark to visit this place and my expectations were sky-High due to reviews and web-site! And I was not dissapointed 🤠 The ranch itself is buityfull with nice cabins, great staff, spotless garden and pool area with the perfect Mountain Wiev. And the owners are amasing, they dined with us 3 nights and seemed very interested in everybodies wellbeing. And most important, the horses were amazing, I felt so safe from the minute I came in the saddle - they are Calm but not at all dull. When troting and Loping they are fresh but stirable. The trips were amazing, I kept on saying WAUW again and again because of the scenary and the wranglers were so helpful. You drive out to different trips every day and the options are many. Also the wranglers really listened to your wishes and try as good as possible to accommodate beginners as Well as advanced wishes and the cattle-exercise was great fun. My only little critic is that it did not seem as an option to participate in sadling and brushing the horses / they are prepared by the wranglers for the trips. So if you go for a rustic ranch where you get mud on the fingers, then this is not the place for you…but I Would so much like to come back, next time with my family. Thanks to all at the hideout for an amazing week

Second year here with my adult daughter and we brought a couple of friends too. This place is amazing and we are planning to return in 2027. It ticks all the boxes for us, as we are experienced riders who have our own horses. The riding is exceptional - the horses we had were superb... responsive and fun, plus in good condition and well cared for. The horses are matched to riders and the wranglers take pains to ensure every level of rider gets the most from there week, whilst keeping everyone safe. The trails and views are outstanding. We love the accommodation and the location. There are a few other activities offered during the week and options for the riding (all day, 2/3 day, morning, afternoon)... my daughter likes to ride in the morning and spend the afternoons by the pool or doing an activity if available, but these are based on demand. I like to do all day rides every day. The main focus of this ranch is the exceptional riding. The owners and staff go out of their way to ensure guests have the best possible time. We love it!

Go! This was the most awesome week. Had been on the bucket list for years and exceeded all expectations. Lodging was very comfortable with all the best amenities like a hot tub and pool and the most peaceful setting. The staff, from the servers to the kitchen, were all first class. We enjoyed happy hour and delicious hors d’oeuvres every evening with photos from our rides. The wranglers were some of the best - cared for the horses and riders, very safety conscious, and made sure we all were successful with our equine partners no matter your riding skills. The trails were awesome! The Hideout has special use permits with the BLM and National Forest so plenty of beautiful country to ride in. Horses were well taken care of and sure footed! Thank you Hideout for such a memorable week.

My husband and I recently spent a week at the Hideout and I can’t say enough good things about our stay. The scenery in the Bighorns is stunning and diverse and getting to explore this landscape on horseback was such a privilege! While we are not experienced riders, the horses were incredible and the wranglers were so patient and helpful. By the end of the week, we felt like we were noticeably more confident and had greatly improved our riding skills. In addition to the amazing rides, the ranch itself is beautiful. The cabins are clean and modern and the food was top notch. We also loved getting to meet and chat with the owners, wranglers and other guests. I can’t recommend this place enough and we are already planning our return trip for next summer.
